Common Name: Deaths-head Hawkmoth
Scientific Name: Acherontia atropos

Size: x 6 larvae (caterpillars)
Status: Captive Bred

Food: Privet leaves

One of my favourite moths of all time, beautiful and easy to keep. They are huge, furry and squeak loudly when disturbed. The larvae too are amazing, very pretty, with the classic 'hawkmoth tail', they grow to a large size and feed well on Privet. The larvae have more than one colour form, they may change colour as they grow, you could be lucky!

A great display/handling animal!
